I'm all for open source task trackers, but the UI in most parts is a rip off of Linear.

Well, I believe everyone is following on the Tailwind Template UI designs with Neumorphic-ish patterns these days. For instance, check these templates and tell me you haven't stumbled on new Startups launches these days with strikingly similar designs. Personally, I'm perfectly fine as long as they are pleasing to look and nice to use. - https://spotlight.tailwindui.com - https://pocket.tailwindui.com - https://proto…

I meant the UI and the functionality, all the sidebars left and right are a copy of Linear's features.

I will try this out as a tool to manage my private tasks. I always wanted something like Jira for my personal life.

That sounds really dystopian. Akin to having a Scrum standup with the kids each morning before school. Do you mean personal programming projects or in general?

He just means a kanban board to keep track of what's not done, a way to attach notes to tasks, and a backlog. He's not going to assign points to brushing teeth and packing lunches...

Okay it's open source but self-hosting it is not straightforward. The repo's self-hosting doc link returns a 404. Then after manually finding https://docs.plane.so/self-hosting/self-hosting, I am warned that there is a dizzying array of 4 env files. I suppose they are in a tricky situation, in that while they want to stand out as open source, actually having people easily self-host it, is perhaps, not a goal that is currently in their interest! Correction: removed wrong Docker-Compose command interpretation, as I have been schooled!

Docker integrated docker-compose a while ago, so the command is correct.

`docker-compose` is the old version of docker compose. The modern command is `docker compose` since it is part of docker:

> See what 2,300+ folks in a forum get up to oh okay > Join our Discord sadness. where's the forum?

It’s funny as I think discord is actually kind of harder to get into than the old irc method. With irc there was no history or permanence so there was a relationship between discussion and what made it into the project as source or docs.

With discord it’s weird because the expectation seems to be on me to wade through hundreds or thousands of messages to find docs because there are people who hang out and read everything.

`docker-compose` is the old style of doing it.

Newer versions of Docker have Compose available as a CLI plugin, so the command `docker compose` with space is correct.

`docker compose` is correct for the newer (still pretty old) plugin based version of docker compose. `docker-compose` is the older standalone version.

> “But what are GitHub stars?” This is weird. It’s almost as if this is a sales pitch to non-technical management who gets to make the executive decision on what issue tracker to use. That’s almost antithetical to “by engineers, for engineers” If this project is driven by commercial interests, then the open-source spirit, if any, isn’t genuine and won’t stick around once VCs want the bait-and-switch. Edit: the blog p…

I read it as addressing the “who cares about stars” that I have whenever someone mentions stars.

So it was like a developer saying “I know stars are a dumb and imperfect way to judge a project, but here’s what it is.”

If they hadn’t written this I would think they put too much weight on what’s really not a very important measure.
